Campus Safety

I feel very safe on campus. Security makes their presence known on the campus.

Clubs and Activities

There are many social clubs and student organizations on campus. There's something offered for everyone to get involved with at LCU. There are women's and men's social clubs, student honors counsel, mission trips, and student senate, to name a few.

Great for these types of students

It is great for students who would like the feel of a small campus and small teacher to student ratio. It also has a family atmosphere, everyone is treated with respect at LCU.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

I like the campus, as it is a Christian based community. They value the growth and improvement of every student. I respect LCU values, which include faith in God, teaching of scripture, continuous growth and improvement of the individual, and team spirit.

Bang for the buck

Financial office will help students with applying and obtaining grants and loans to help with the cost of tuition. There are also scholarships available as well. The business office is always ready to help! You definitely feel that your education is worth the cost! LCU graduates are in high demand and usually will be placed in the job market within six months after graduation.

What to do for fun

There are many things to do in Lubbock. I like to attend sporting events at my school as well as bible study. There are also sporting events close by at Texas Tech to attend. I am also very active at my new church home and attend functions there as well. There are many good places to eat in Lubbock, even for students on a budget.

Food and Dining

The food is good, I would like to see healthier choices, as I am a diabetic and need to really watch my diet. The hours on weekends are limited, so you are on your own, as far as eating on weekends.

Dorm Life

This is my first time away from home, the dorms can use some updating. They are quite old, but being a student athlete, I am in and out of the dorm alot and they serve their purpose.

Academic Rigor

The class ratio is 13:1, there is individual attention from professors and help to make sure you succeed. Do your work and you will succeed!

Tips for prospective students

Be sure to join flight plan prior to starting your freshman year. It offers many things, personalized attention to freshman, free tutoring, help with any problems that arise and help with communicating with professors.

In three sentences

They offer 80 degree programs and small teacher to student ratio. A Christian culture is promoted and followed. Every student receives individual attention and guidance.

Dana from Lubbock, TX

In front of the auditorium is a statue of the LCU Chap and at least every student has taken a picture riding the Chap. It's sort of a tradition.

What to do for fun

LCU has social groups and clubs that many students participate in and have fun. There is also a variety of sports to play, competitively or just for fun. And LCU also has a lot of student gatherings for everyone to come together and have a good time.

Tips for prospective students

If you want to go to college and not be just a number in the class, I suggest going to LCU because people will know you by first name and show that they care.

In three sentences

Lubbock Christian University (LCU) is a great school to attend. The professors really care about each student and they do all they can to help their students with anything they need. LCU is an amazing environment to be in.

In three sentences

This school feels like home and is full of Christian Professors and students who share the same morals and values. LCU offers multiple ways to not only get involved in school events, but also events going on in the community where you can easily serve the Lord. LCU also has an awesome Education program where some of the finest teachers are graduates of the program.

Brenda from Arlington, TX

We have a very safe campus our security are on duty 24/7, not to mention that we live by a wealthy community.

Greek Life

We have different social clubs.

Clubs and Activities

We have different activities throughout the year but two very known activities that most people love are TWIRP meaning The women is required to pay.

Great for these types of students

We have a lot of different organization on campus. Some which are the Aggies, whom tend to really just have cook outs and hang out, to a Minority Student Association, which helps you learn about different culture on campus.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

An unusual tradition that LCU has is chapel. Everyday except Thursday everyone meets at eleven in the auditorium, and it becomes a time where we take at least thirty minutes off our buy life to learn about God.

Bang for the buck

LCU is probably a pretty expensive school, but we do have to understand that without our money LCU would not be what it is today.

What to do for fun

We have an amazing rec- center. In which we have zumba, insanity, dancing, and even an cycling class. All for free! Not to mention our rock wall as well.

Food and Dining

I have been at LCU for three years now, and I can honestly that the food is not all so great, but sometimes their are some good days.

Dorm Life

Dorm life is not so so great. Mostly if you are coming in a a freshman! But once your past your freshman year it can get better. From living in our courtyards to having your own apartment.

Academic Rigor

Going to school can be a struggle but I can honestly say that at LCU, that struggle can feel less of a struggle because of the awesome and understanding teachers on campus.

Tips for prospective students

Always come with an open mind. Knowing that you go to a christian school is probably not always the best thing, mostly if your not from the church of Christ But do not come to judge

In three sentences

I can honestly say that Lubbock Christian University has had a big impact on my life. The teachers that are on campus, or better yet the whole community is amazing. Everyone is so loving and kind that feeling misplaced could never happen.

Campus Safety

LCU is one of the safest campuses. We have a staff that will come at anytime to charge the battery in your car, walk with you at night if you feel unsafe, or whatever the case may be. They are there 24/7.

What to do for fun

I am involved with many activities on campus such as intermural sports and social clubs. Along with this I am a student trainer for a sports team on campus and love what I do.

Food and Dining

We have our own coffee shop here as well as a little shop called take 10 that is for LCU only. Then there is always the cafe where you will find a large variety of cereal and omelets every morning. For lunch and dinner they always have pizza, salad, sandwich bar and something fresh off the grill.

Dorm Life

The dorm is a dorm, every experience will be different however mine was so good that I decided to go back as a residential assistant my second year. Everyone is very friendly and it is a safe place to be.

Academic Rigor

The students here work extremely hard to keep up with the latest in teaching and new studies. Professors want you to know the information and will tutor you for free or just talk to them if you are struggling with anything at all.

Tips for prospective students

Know that LCU has many awesome opportunities, we may not have the desired major that you are looking for, however there are many studies that allow you to transfer in to Texas Tech and get 2 degrees at the same time for the same amount of money. You will always find a mentor here at LCU, you are not alone and they want you to know that.

In three sentences

Lubbock Christian is truly a life changing university. The professors know you by name and know your learning style, you are not just a number in the class you are a somebody to them. I came to LCU knowing absolutely no one and by my freshman year I knew more than half the campus and they became like my family, a home away from home.

No where near it. They should be charging about 1/3 of the price they do for what they provide.

What to do for fun

This is a place where LCU doesn't lack. There are constantly social activities being sponsored by the school. Zombie night in the fall, TWIRP week, laser tag, and if you get sick of the campus activities, there is always plenty to do in Lubbock.

Dorm rooms are small and smell badly. My room when I got to campus this smelled like a skunk got in and died. I'm not sure if I've finally got the smell to go away, or if I'm just used to it by now.

Academic Rigor

This just depends on your field of study, just like at every school. Some departments are a little more lenient, while others are very strict They do hold high standards for their student's, just don't expect much help achieving them.

Tips for prospective students

Apply to other schools, maybe schools that are state schools and save your money. This school is not providing near up to par services for the amount of money it costs to go here.

In three sentences

I am not happy with Lubbock Christian University. I believe the administration are lazy and liars. And on top of that, they school hides bend a christian facade, just so they can jack up the prices they can charge.

from Lubbock, TX

The food in the cafeteria is mediocre at best, but Take 10 in the Student Union Building is great.

Dorm Life

I don't live in the dorms, so I can't say much about the dorm life.

Tips for prospective students

Ask for help as much as you need it. The professors will try to work with you as much as they can.

In three sentences

LCU really looks out for its students. The teachers are all highly invested in making sure that you succeed and will generally go out of their way to help. You're not just another student at LCU; you are genuinely valued.

Dorm Life

The dorms are not the newest or the nicest but they have fabulous RA's and are fun to live in with all of your friends.

Academic Rigor

The classes are difficult but aren't too hard if you just keep open dialogue with your professors and do what they ask of you.

Tips for prospective students

Get to know your professors! They will help you in any way they can if you talk to them. Also use the tutoring center as much as possibly because it is a free and extremely effective resource.

In three sentences

I have personally enjoyed my overall experience here at Lubbock Christian University. The atmosphere is encouraging, family oriented, and loving. The teachers really act like they care about you and want to invest time into your lives.

Jessica from Fort Worth, TX

I don't know a whole lot about campus safety first-hand, but everywhere I go on campus I always see campus security circling in their cars and so I always know I am safe.

Greek Life

We don't have real Greek sororities and fraternities, but we do have social clubs, which is similar and most go by Greek names. Social clubs are clubs that you rush into and within your club you can participate in intramural sports, service projects, club meetings, banquets, retreats, and Master Follies. I am a member of one of the clubs and love it!!!

Clubs and Activities

Like I said, LCU has so many opportunities to get involved. Student Senate, performing groups, SIFE, Social clubs, academic groups, and so many little activities hosted by the school.

Great for these types of students

Students who want to get involved on campus. The great thing about a small school is that you have the chance to be known and to be involved. It is so easy to run for student council, to rush a club, join the choir, or start a group for something you love. LCU is a great place with lots of really friendly people

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

TWIRP week! The Woman Is Required To Pay is a week of fun (and free!) dates hosted by LCU where traditionally the girl has to ask the guy out. We have Coke and Nacho night, roller skating, movies, and so much more! It's really a lot of fun and good excuse to get a cute date!

Bang for the buck

LCU is an expensive place, I'm not going to lie. But it all depends on whether or not you think a great education, professors who want you to succeed, great quality of life, fun activities, and a lifetime of memories is worth it. Another great thing about LCU is that they want to help you. There are so many opportunities to get financial aid, so don't let the cost scare you away. I wouldn't trade this school for the world, even though I'll be paying off loans for a while.

What to do for fun

There is a lot of fun to stuff to get involved in at LCU. They are always offering special movie nights, date nights, entertainment, devos and such. We have clubs to join, as well as social clubs (which is our version of Greek). And you can always get involved in band, choir, performing group, sports, intramural sports, and lots of fun activities hosted by the school.

Food and Dining

LCU offers meal plans to the Caf, our on-capmus cafeteria, which is pretty decent. We always have lots of choices available and they always offer pizza, the sandwich bar, the salad bar, and the grill, along with the two or three changing choices. We also have an on-campus restaurant, called Take 10 where you can use your meal points to buy hamburgers, chicken, breakfast burritos, and yummy snack, as well as the Koffee Kup which also accepts meal points and sells coffee and light meals.

Dorm Life

What can I say about dorm life? You live a small room with a roommate you don't know and share a shower with the whole hall of girls (or boys if you're a guy). We have on girls dorm for all years and two for the guys, but the nice thing is that there also private rooms available in both the dorms and the sectioned off courtyards in addition to the on-campus apartments that are really nice. Over-all, housing is pretty decent for college living.

Academic Rigor

LCU really does have a great academic program. The core classes are informative and beneficial. They are simple enough to where, if you put in the work, you can easily make a good grade, but challenging enough that you need to put in some work, especially since the professor will know your name! And of course the major classes in every department are great. LCU is always trying to improve and we really do have some great faculty.

Tips for prospective students

Check it out and see if LCU is for you! We have great education and nursing programs, along with many other majors, including an AWESOME Bible department! (Youth and Family Ministry major).

In three sentences

LCU is a great private Christian university in the college town of Lubbock, TX (also known for Texas Tech). It's small enough to where the professors know your name and you always have access to them. LCU really cares about and listen to the students and the staff, professors and even students are always making improvements.

Haley from rowlett, TX

We ALWAYS have security driving around, which is very comforting to yourself and your parents.

I could really say that LCU is worth the money, but if you had it. I don't really have it so that's why I'm trying to apply for scholarships.

What to do for fun

Some people think that because Lubbock is such a small and lonely place, that there wont be anything for anyone to do but that isn't really the case at LCU. There are so many social clubs and organizations, inter murals, pool, ping pong, and other games, and just lots of friendship building.

The dorm life at LCU is nice, they have upper class men in each hall to help freshmen feel at home. They do everything they can to earn your trust and friendship.

Campus Safety

There are campus security guards who drive around campus to make sure it is a safe campus. If on the weekend you need into the rip you have to have your ID to get in which I believe is a good idea because it keeps our buildings and students safe.

Clubs and Activities

The flight plan is for first generation students and it is a really good organization to be in. They help you with literally everything you can think of to make your college experience great. I highly recommend it if you are thinking of going to Lubbock Christian University if not look for a first generation program at your school.

What to do for fun

The school has a lot of things going on campus like Blur which is worship and a speaker comes and talks. If there is nothing going on you could go to the rec and climb a rock wall or play indoor soccer. If that is close like at nights sometimes you could also go hang out with people over at tech.

Food and Dining

At first the food was really good, but after a while of the same stuff it can get really tiring. Most of the food they have is really good, and then there is some that is not. They serve a lot of different kinds of food which is good.

Dorm Life

Honestly dorm life is hard for freshman, because not everyone is on the same schedule as you are. It can be really frustrating at times but you learn to deal with it. Even though it is hard at time it is also really good because if you ever need anything there are a lot of people who will help you and be there for you to listen.

Academic Rigor

Being an athlete our team wanted to have a GPA of 3.4 which is a pretty good goal to have. The school only requires a 2.5 which means it is really easy to get into. But they are pretty strict about missing classes, so you have to be a student who wants to get an education.

Tips for prospective students

Do not be afraid to be open about your religion. There is not a lot of students because it is a smaller school but don't be afraid of not making friends because everyone here is very heartwarming. You get the best of both worlds because Lubbock Christian is a small school and Texas tech is right down the road which is a big school.

In three sentences

Lubbock Christian University is a perfect place to grow your walk with the Lord. It also has a wonderful programs that will help you with your walk into your profession. It is a perfect place to find yourself and plan your future.

Jane from TX, Lubbock

Food are not too bad. I can still live eating in cafeteria. If I get bored of cafeteria food, I go to coffee shop to have some meals. Cafeteria sometimes have special days with special food.

Dorm Life

Dorm life is great! Surrounded by many good friends, I have so much fun! RAs are really friendly and people are generally nice. Yet, there are of course some times when it gets too loud or noisy.

Academic Rigor

You can learn many important stuffs if you try to learn. Like other universtities, there are people who do not study very much. Because it is a university, most professors do not push students much to do their own works.

Tips for prospective students

The place may be dry for some people. Get read for that.

Lubbock Christian Universit is a great place to have good fellowships with others. I have met so many great people in this university. Not only the students of my age but also the professors are so freindly and nice.

Campus Safety

Lubbock Christian University has 24-hour security constantly patrolling the campus. On the first day of school they ensure that their number is in your phone and offer to help you in any way you might need. They are so dedicated to their job that they will walk you back to your dorms at night if you are walking around campus late or will drive by multiple times if you are running outside. All you have to do is ask. The security department also has a program to communicate with the students via text in case of emergency.

Greek Life

There is only one fraternity on campus and they are listed under social clubs.

Clubs and Activities

There are 8 social clubs on campus which include something for everyone. Sports, choir, band, and theatre are also offered.

Great for these types of students

Christian students who want that type of education should attend Lubbock Christian University.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Lubbock Christian University hosts many events that make living here a special experience. TWIRP weeks is coming up and consists of girls asking the boys out on dates. Every night LCU puts on an activity for the couples to enjoy.

Bang for the buck

Lubbock Christian seems to be an expensive school, however the financial reductions can make it extremely manageable. Good ACT and SAT scores are rewarded with scholarships as are volunteering on campus, participating in activities such as choir, and being a Bible major. I highly recommend discussing the options with an Academic Advisor.

What to do for fun

Because Lubbock is such a small town, LCU ensures that students always have something to do on campus. The 8 social clubs host mixers, devotionals, club lunches, etc. These are awesome events where you can meet new people and have a good time! Intermurals are also offered for any students who desire to participate. These events consist of self made student sports teams that compete for bragging rights. Volleyball, basketball, soccer, and even quidditch are all available.

Food and Dining

Lubbock Christian requires freshman to purchase a meal plan. I am allotted 19 meals a week in the cafeteria and I have $50 of munch money to spend in the on campus stores. The Cafeteria offers a variety of meals so you can always find something that sounds yummy. My favorite is the omelet bar for breakfast. They custom make it right in front of you and it really fills you up! Lubbock Christian also is home to two additional food places. The Koffee Kup is the coffee shop adjacent to the library and often serves as a student hangout. Take 10 offers breakfast and lunch and is a great alternative when you have to grab something quick.

Dorm Life

The dorms at Lubbock Christian University are small but manageable. My roommate and I each have a twin bed, dresser, and desk. In addition, we have a shelf for our kitchen materials and the TV sits atop that. The closets are huge! The bathrooms are down the hall and have four showers that are blocked off by stalls and the laundry room is right next door. One benefit is the free laundry machines here on campus. Although I was nervous about living in the dorms, it is one of my favorite parts of attending school here.

Academic Rigor

Lubbock Christian University offers a variety of majors and academic programs to meet the needs of each individual student. The Honor Program for example, consists of deeper academic courses to allow a higher standard for student who have already mastered the basic concepts. They offer a variety of majors (nursing, education, ministry, etc.). You can have a hands on input when choosing your schedule so that it can be as rigorous or as easy as you want.

Tips for prospective students

Lubbock Christian University offers Chap Days multiple times each year which allow prospective students to tour the campus and experience the campus environment. Take time to meet the advisors, discuss your major, and ask any questions you may have. This will provide you with an accurate idea of student life on their campus.

In three sentences

Seems about as hard as studies at any other college.

Girls ask your boyfriends, crushes, or guy friends out to some free fun sponsored by senate!! Usually includes a Hypnotist.. awesome!

Bang for the buck

It's cheaper than ACU! You get a lot here for your money, and I'm happy with the education that I get here for the money that I spend. It is well worth it!

What to do for fun

SUB LIFE! Hang out in the sub and play pool, air hockey, ping pong, and shuffleboard. There are places to sit and chat on campus, and even swings all around! Also Whataburger stops at 12 in the morning are always fun with friends!

In three sentences

I love this college. There is such a wonderful atmosphere here with the students and teachers. They really do care about you.

Laura from Watauga, TX

LCU's campus is very safe. We have at least two security guards that drive around campus and in the neighborhoods close by 24-7.

Greek Life

LCU doesn't exactly have greek life, but social clubs; four girl social clubs and four guy clubs. This is a great opportunity to meet new people as well, and the clubs do their own activities - on and off campus. One tradition I didn't mention was Master Follies, similar to sing song, the clubs compete against each other for many titles.

Clubs and Activities

There are many academic clubs on LCU's campus and activities. The activities will depend on your major. However, in the semester LCU will perform community events that everyone is encouraged to join.

Great for these types of students

Lubbock Christian University will impact every student in a different way.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Since LCU's mascot is the chaparral we have two bronze statues on campus and every year students will climb on the chaps to take a picture, but it's more of an unsaid tradition because you have to do it at night. Another tradition you will see it at orientation, on the last day current students and alumni will line the walk ways with glow sticks and we will sing worship songs while the incoming students walk past. This leads into a big devotional that ends the freshman orientation.

Bang for the buck

LCU is one of the least expensive private universities but what we do spend we can see it on campus. The LCU staff is always adding new things to campus to make it better. And the teachers are magnificent.

What to do for fun

For fun, LCU provides a few activities every semester such as Zombies vs. Humans and you get to dress as a zombie (if that's the side you choose), in the recreational center there is rock wall, intramural are year round, and campus golf. Some times the staff with bring in bounce houses and it might sound silly, but they are a great tool for relieving stress, plus its really fun! Off campus Lubbock offers the drive in, bowling allies, the mall, and a plethora of parks to choose from.

Food and Dining

The cafe provides another great place to meet new friends. The food is pretty good and you can back for as much as you want! The dining hall is not very big so it isn't overwhelming when you first walk in.

Dorm Life

Living in the dorms gives you the opportunity to meet life long friends. The dorms always have some type of event bringing everyone together, but there is always a quite place provided if the hallways become to noisy. The dorms are conveniently close to every building on campus as well.

Academic Rigor

The teacher's at LCU really challenge your classroom skills and set high expectations for you. They do so because they want you to push yourself to do great.

Tips for prospective students

The campus is small but it would still be beneficial to locate the buildings were your potential classes could be. With the campus being small the class sizes are no bigger than forty students per teacher. Even though the school's foundation is Church of Christ, your denomination doesn't omit you from becoming a student at LCU.

In three sentences

Lubbock Christian University is the definition of home away from home. Its campus is welcoming with its Bible versus written in the concrete and everyone has a warm welcome. The education is superb and the teacher's care about you beyond the classroom.

Michael from Missouri City, TX

campus security is patrolling 24 hours a day in a patrol car. nothing has happened that has involved security matters yet.

Greek Life

What to do for fun

many activities are on campus. we have a rec center that has a pinp pong table 3 full court basketball courts, a rock wall, and a futsal court for soccer, along with a weight room fully equiped with new machines.

Food and Dining

this rates about the same as the dorm life. as a freshman you have to have a nineteen cred meal plan. the meals consist of a hot lunch line, sub line, nineteen different cereals along with fruit and salad everyday. the meals are not consistent and the quality is nit all that great.

Dorm Life

the dorms are not all that good. two people share a space about 10' by 14' its not that but it can fit two beds, two desks, and a sink, along with a separate closet.

Academic Rigor

the academic aspect here is amazing, its ranked one of the top of naia private schools. class size is small so interpersonal interaction is acceptable to an extent. the professors are very interactive and keep me engaged throughout the lecture

Tips for prospective students

everyone here is friendly, and it is easy to make new friends because the campus is somewhat small. it snows occasionally here and the weather is very moody. it changes from day to day. also the class sizes are small, teacher to student ratio 1:25 so you can get one on one with your teacher any time.

In three sentences

lubbock christian is a great university to join people who have the same faith as you and to express your faith in and worshiping our wonderful god (10). academic wise i love it here, the class sizes are small and the lectures are full of knowledge and information (10). the only thing that is a main dislike here is the cafeteria food (5).

Blake from Gruver, TX

security is driving around the campus 24/7 to ensure the safety of students.

Bang for the buck

it is very expensive but there are ways to get help and it is definitely worth it!

What to do for fun

lubbock christian university sets up activities almost every weekend to give you something to do. for an example, master follies is this weekend and they have carnivals set up in the spring.

Food and Dining

the cafeteria is an all you can eat buffet and will always have the basic foods with some special food. you don't have to pay for every time you go get more food and the workers are always smiling.

Dorm Life

the dorms are very clean and active. they have activities almost every other week with prizes and a lot of fun.

Academic Rigor

the professors pushes you every day but does not give you anything you cannot handle. they are their for you everyday when you need help. they give you everyday situations so you are prepared for the real life.

get involved with whatever you can. getting involved helps your everyday life and helps you get to know people. getting to know people helps you succeed even in your academic life. even if you are not a social person you can still get involved and have the best time of your life.

In three sentences

this school is very friendly and helpful! i love how close every student is here and everyone helps their neighbor at every chance they get. the teachers know you by name and pushes you to the limit but helps you succeed.

Amber from Portales, NM

There could be more improvement on the social clubs at times, but plenty of activities do if you are in a social club or a sport.

Great for these types of students

Who want a school where you will be around other Christians (not just Church of Christ but many other denominations) and even find your future spouse (as it is called the love connection campus)...then it is great. It is nice to be around Christian students here and the faculty do care for you.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Master Follies...fun but awesome!

Bang for the buck

The price is expensive and you want to make sure you pass your classes so you pay for what you are getting. There are plenty of discounts for Bible majors and others listed on the website. However, for those of us who have not attended a Christian high school or are not a Bible major, we pay regular tuition. There is no out-of-state or in-state tuition as well, which is an advantage. Unfortunately, if you are not a Texas resident (such as myself), you do not get the Texas Resident Grant.

What to do for fun

The SUB is a fun to hang out and you can also do various activities around Lubbock if you own a car.

Food and Dining

The cafeteria has it flaws when has the occasions where the food is bland or there are things that you are just not hungry to eat. Advantages include cereal, a sandwich/deli, a salid bar, pizza at lunch and dinner, and hamburgers/hot dogs if you do not want the main food they are serving.

Dorm Life

Dorm life is nice overall. The only flaw is the RAs doing room checks at 11:00pm each night when you are wanting to get some sleep. Also, freshman have a 1:00am curfew. This is something that can get old for people but this curfew is NOT for people who like to stay out late at night every one night.

Academic Rigor

The academics are challenging depending on your major. The main thing is even if you do not get a lot of homework, your teachers and professors expect a lot out of you. They want you to succeed and most of the instructors are willing to

Tips for prospective students

Make sure to apply for any Ambassador scholarships and also try to score very high on your ACT/SAT. If you can, apply for the honors program or get involved with some of the activities on campus. Make sure you save your money to help pay for school and except to be at chapel and in your classes. This is not a school for people who want ease by in their classes.

In three sentences

LCU is a good school that offers comfortable student live if you are living on campus.

Great for these types of students

If you're a person who wants to be surrounded by loving people who treat each other with respect, LCU is the place for you. Here you're not just a number like at state schools, here you have your own identity and people will know you for you. Also if you're a student that thinks you're going to mess up in college, come here. I was one of those students and since I've been here i have done nothing but get my work in and not party everyday. The cool thing is that i still have TONS OF FUN!! Come here and you won't regret a thing.

Tips for prospective students

For Prospective students.... I would recommend getting your applications in as quickly as possible so that you may be ready for the intense loving place that LCU is.

Bang for the buck

LCU is expensive, and they just raised tuition this year by a lot. When it comes to getting the best value for your dollar i honestly do believe that attending Lubbock Christian University is the best thing to do. The help, accountability, and awesome atmosphere is most definitely the place to be.

Am enjoying being here

I am an accounting major. With that comes a ton of tedious work, but there are many things that one can become involved with. For instance, I am in IKoinonia, a social club here on campus, a brotherhood. I also contribute by being a part of the student senate where we regulate student events and money distribution. I also run with SIFE (students in free enterprise) that helps small and up coming businesses conduct the way they would like.

Am learning a lot

When it comes to the curriculum, there couldn't be a better one. The way professors teach us while incorporating Christian values is so amazing. One on one help is something a lot of students take advantage of; i know i do. Whether help is contributed by a tutor or even the professor, you are always able to get one on one help with anything you may need.

Jerrod from null, null

Students who work hard and want to better themselves by getting involved and growing spiritually.

Tips for prospective students

Jump in and get to know your professors. They'll help you in any way they can.

Bang for the buck

This is a private school so I don't expect it to be free, and yet I'm surprised at how competitively priced their tuition is. In comparison to other Chistian Universities, I find LCU to sometimes come in at half the price. When I compare LCU to big state schools, I'm also surprised that there's not a huge amount of difference in overal cost.

Am enjoying being here

The atmosphere is catching. Everyone loves being here, and there's just a pulse throughout campus life that encourages me to get involved. The activities on campus directed by different departments and Student Senate are great ways to get people plugged in. At LCU I'm having the best experience of my life.

Am learning a lot

My professors push me to do better. They are always checking up on me to see how things are going, not just in their class, but in all areas. I've been blessed to study Business at a university where the teachers genuinely care. They help instill professionalism within every aspect of my life, and truly care about my success after graduation.

Kaylen from Roanoke, TX

People that are willing to learn. People who are wanting to grow in a faith. Athletes, girls and guys.

Tips for prospective students

If you want to grow in your faith and in your education go to school here. There is no lie in the title Life changing university.

Am enjoying being here

All of the people here are amazing. This does not just have christian in it's title we have it in our actions. I feel so at home and so in love with all of my teachers and all of the wonderful friends I have made here.

Am learning a lot

All of my professors are very knowledgeable and they want to share that with all of us. It is not just about the money to them. They sincerely care about our education.

Great for these types of students

People looking for a church affiliated university, people who want a successful athletic program for any of the programs offered here, and people who just want to have fun and meet new people and be called by their name in class instead of a number.

Tips for prospective students

If you are really looking for small classes and that one on one time with your teacher then this is the place for you. This college is a well-oriented Christian college and they base a lot of their ideals around serving God. If you want an atmosphere of students and faculty that walk by you with a smiling face each day ready to meet new people, you will find a lot of that here. People here are really friendly and you will have tons of friends within weeks.

Am enjoying being here

I love the residence I live in and also the women's varsity basketball team's success. This is my second year here and I've grown to like it more and more each year.

Am learning a lot

The professors here really make sure that you learn the material they are teaching. Classes are small so you really can have one on one time with your teacher if you are not understanding something. They will give you their office ours as well as set aside some of their personal time just to make sure you learning and passing.
